With its round face and stuffed, teddy bear-like appearance, the Snoopy-cat has gone viral online and won people over all over the world. This cute cat, who is frequently compared to a cartoon character, has gained popularity on social media because of its distinctive appearance and endearing personality. Loved for its peaceful and cuddly personality, Snoopy the cat is a great illustration of how some pets can become internet celebrities in no time at all.

Where did Snoopy cats come from

The cat that gave the well-known breed its trendy moniker is a member of the exotic short-haired red van tabby breed. The famous person resides in Chengdu, a Chinese town in the province of Sichuan. His owner, Mrs. Ning, started sharing pictures of her pet on the social media platform Weibo. Unexpectedly, the mustachioed person’s portraits started to get a lot of "likes." More than a million people subscribe to the cat Snoopy worldwide these days, and exotic cats with white and red fur are selling like "hot cakes."

Snoopy the cat has been a household name on the Internet for roughly eight years.

In the 1960s, a Persian cat and an American shorthair cat were crossed to produce these purrs. The purpose of the selection process was to produce new colors and enhance the latter’s breed attributes. But it turned out that the Persian cat was "stronger" genetically, and as a result, kittens with a powerful, stocky body and a flattened muzzle were born. The "half-breeds" were unique because of their extremely "stuffed," luxurious wool and thick undercoat. The babies were also extremely playful and obedient.

The following is how Exotics’ later history unfolded:

• 1966. — recognition of the breed by the World Cat Fanciers" Association (CFA) based on the application of breeder Jane Marting;
• 1967. — registration of the breed standard (it was decided to completely adopt the standards for Persian cats, with the exception of the type of fur);
• 1973. — changes were made to the breed standard regarding the characteristics of the head (the requirement for a snub nose – "stop" was established);
• 1975. — a ban on any crossbreeding of representatives of the breed (mating was allowed only with Persians and American smooth-haired cats);
• 1980. — a ban on mating between Exotics and American smooth-haired cats;
• 1990. — recognition of the identity of the standards for the Exotic and Persian breeds (if changes are made to the first, the second changes too).

External features of the breed

Among their relatives, Snoopy "teddy bears" are distinguished by their large brown eyes that have a melancholy expression and a full, high-cheekboned muzzle. These adorable creatures have broad, circular paws and a squat, muscular body.

The appearance of exotic cats is very adorable.

The tail has a soft, rounded tip and is shortened. Little, widely spaced ears are located on top of the head. These cats typically have medium or large bodies. The body measures roughly 75-80 cm from the top of the head to the tip of the tail, and the weight varies between 5 kg for females and 7 kg for males.

Breed standard according to CFA

The World Association of Cat Fanciers states that in order for animals to be shown and bred, Snoopy-murks—that is, smooth-haired exotics—must fulfill several requirements:

• massive skull, making the head round and large;
• short, powerful neck;
• flattened nose, having a depression (the so-called stop) on the bridge of the nose;
• wide and strong jaw bones;
• rounded chin with correct bite;
• small, slightly forward-tilted ears;
• Wide-set, bright eyes with a "sweet" expression;
• stocky build with well-developed muscles;
• plump, straight limbs with strong paws;
• thick tail is located slightly to the side when viewed from behind.

A Snoopy cat should evoke the overall impression of a strong creature with gentle contours and a charming expression on its face. These cats are like a soft, stuffed animal—they are harmoniously developed.

Strict breed requirements must be met by exotic cats.

• kinked tail;
• miniature nose;
• polydactyly;
• skull deformations;
• strabismus;
• abnormalities in the structure of the spine;
• anomalies in the development of the pelvic bones.

Features of the fur and colors of Snoopy cats

The characteristic feature of exotic shorthaired cats’ fur is that the pile extends up to 5 cm, which is significantly longer than typical. The hairs are not so big as to stack on top of one another at the same time. And the effect of "stuffed" and "plush" is produced by the thick undercoat protruding from the body. The standard specifies that the Snoopy’s fur should be soft and dense. However, you can use any color that your Persian "brothers" choose.

The exotic breed of cats with smooth hair that are most popular in these colors are:

solid – represented by monochromatic shades of black and white, red and gray or cream (no spots, copper-colored or deep orange eyes);

Solid-colored, exotic cats have a majestic appearance.

Fur on Smoky Snoopy cats is thick and luxurious.

The Snoopy breed of cats is the only ones with natural tortoiseshell coloring.

The tabby color’s hues can combine to create a wide range of patterns.

Bicolor in coloring involves a combination of two colors

For breeders, calico Snoopy cats are the most valuable.

Point Colorpoint Rare are the Snoopy cats as pets.

Snoopy appears to be a plush toy due to the use of crayon coloring.

The cat Snoopy, who gave the exotic breed its second name, is directly responsible for the color of the van.

In Snoopy cats, the harlequin coloring turns into a totally white lower body.

The Snoopy cats’ tuxedo coloring variation takes on a white chin, paws, and belly.

Generally speaking, it is rare to find just one type of coloring; instead, two or three options overlap to create distinctive pattern combinations. Silver tabby and striped colorpoint are the rarest and priciest colors of Snoopy cats.

The character of Snoopy cats

These are peaceful, incredibly amiable animals that are content to participate in family activities. The calm, inquisitive nature and easy training of Snoopy cats set them apart. The person who feeds and tends to the purr the most frequently gets to choose the favorite. Exotics are never aggressive and always treat other domestic animals with respect.

There are few cats as loving and affectionate as Snoopy.

Cats are ready to run and jump till they are very old, so you can’t call the breed lazy either. Thus, it is best to accumulate a wide variety of cat accessories and toys so that the animal companion won’t become bored until the owner is occupied.

However, if these shrewd men are in a foul mood or are having too much fun, they won’t organize a pogrom in a home.

Playfulness	Poorly tolerate loneliness
Lack of aggression	Strongly attached to people
High intelligence	Excessive gullibility

The Murok’s gentle and adaptable nature makes it easy for them to get along with other pets and they even enjoy spending time with small children. The exot will show interest in visitors and retreat to a private area if there are outsiders in the home.

Health of the breed Snoopy-Cat

Since the exotic smooth-haired cat breed was created through artificial breeding, there is a significant chance that these cats will have genetic illnesses. Snoopy cats can live up to 14–16 years if they receive proper care and attentive attention to their health, which is a pretty respectable life expectancy.

Genetic diseases can affect Snoopy cats.

The most common illnesses that affect exotic cats are:

• deformation of teeth and jaws – the specific structure of the skull provokes the protrusion of the lower jaw (due to which the pet cannot eat normally) or a change in the position of the teeth (requires surgical intervention);
• increased lacrimation – associated with the deformation of the tear ducts against the background of the incorrect structure of the muzzle and nose;
• chronic sinus disease – due to the small nose, Snoopy often gets clogged sinuses, where microbes accumulate and inflammation begins (if the animal begins to snore, the veterinarian will prescribe suitable drops);
• kidney disease (polycystic kidney disease) – symptoms appear in adult animals and are expressed in weight loss, lack of appetite, constant vomiting (it is impossible to cure the pet, but a special diet and therapeutic procedures will help alleviate the condition);
• difficulty breathing (the extreme case is brachycephalic airway obstruction syndrome) – associated with a short nasal passage in which bacteria accumulate (a runny nose appears, colds are common) or a genetic disease (the structure of the trachea and larynx changes, treated surgically);
• hypertrophic cardiomyopathy – an incurable disease characterized by lethargy and refusal to eat, increased fatigue (males get sick more often than females), supportive therapy is prescribed;
• dental diseases (gingivitis, tartar) – you can find out by the unpleasant smell from the pet"s mouth and by its behavior (Snoopy will refuse food), the doctor will prescribe a diet and prescribe suitable medications to relieve inflammation.

These purrs have short fur, but Snoopy throws it around just as well as their Persian ancestors did. As a result, it’s critical to comb your pets on a regular basis and adhere to other required hygiene practices. Additionally, feeding your pet a balanced diet is crucial to maintaining the proper ratio of vitamins and minerals in an exotic cat’s body.

Nutrition

The question of whether natural or industrial cat food is better for plush purrs is not settled upon by Snoopy cat breeders. In the first scenario, the animal obtains all the required "usefulness" in a complex; in the second, the risk of toxic chemicals entering the body is eliminated. But when it comes to feeding ready-made food, you should stick to high-quality or holistic foods to avoid this.

Only premium food should be fed to Snoopy cats.

The following food is recommended by experts as being best for Snoopy cats:

Hill"s Nature"s Best – made in the Netherlands, contains Omega-3 fatty acids, the main ingredient is chicken or tuna;

Food from Hill’s Nature’s Best is free of flavors and additives.

Germany produces the food for Bosch Sanabelle.

Cat & Feed Acana Orijen Chicken eggs are included in the kitten.

The most meat volume is made up of Innova Evo.

Adult Eukanuba Hairball Food consumed indoors can aid in the removal of hair swallowed.

If you decide to switch to a natural diet for your pet, you should select eco-friendly products:

• veal, lean beef;
• poultry;
• boiled eggs;
• low-fat sea fish (no more than once every 7 days);
• cottage cheese, kefir;
• boiled vegetables (zucchini, carrots);
• cereals (buckwheat, millet, rice).

The cat’s diet should frequently include sea fish. Low-fat cottage cheese will aid in providing calcium to the cat’s body without impairing digestive processes. The staple food of the Snoopy cats is beef. For the whiskered one, poultry meat is a low-calorie, healthful treat. For Murka, buckwheat porridge is an additional energy source. Boiling zucchini and other veggies is recommended for cats. Cats should receive chicken eggs no more than twice a week.

For a balanced diet, vitamin and mineral complexes must be added to the dishes if the menu solely consists of natural foods.

Snoopy is fed in accordance with its age:

• from birth to 6 months – 6 times a day;
• from 7 months to 1 year – 4 times a day;
• from 1 year – 2 times a day.

The portion size is 45 g for every kg of live weight, determined by the pet’s weight. The packaging of dry food includes guidelines for calculating the recommended daily intake, which is typically no more than 80 g.

Crucial! The pet should have access to clean drinking water at all times of the day. In order to prevent food particles from entering, it is preferable to position the bowl away from the food cup.

Necessary accessories

Snoopy, like other members of the feline family, needs seclusion and a place where no one will bother him. For this reason, it’s crucial to buy a house big enough for a plush pet in advance. The owner with the mustache will feel more assured the closer the shelter is to their room.

Snoopy the cat will feel safer in his own home.

Furthermore, the following will assist in giving the cat a comfortable place to live:

• bowls for food and water (not combined, with low sides);
• cat toys;
• scratching post;
• a tray that fits the size of the animal (place it away from passages where there is less traffic);
• litter for the toilet;
• hygiene products (comb, eye and ear drops, claw clippers).

Hygiene

Every month, Snoopy’s dense undercoat and thick fur need to be washed, and its prone-to-tearing eyes need to be constantly cleaned with a cotton pad soaked in saline or special drops like Diamond Eyes. Once a week, clean your ears with cotton pads soaked in lotion or anti-tick drops (it’s best to use both at different times).

Snoopy cats’ physiology prevents them from maintaining their own hygiene.

The following cosmetics are available for fur care:

• Beaphar Pro Vitamine;
• Dr. Zoo;
• Ms. Kiss;
• Royal Groom "Shine and Moisturizing";
• Cliny "Nutrition and Shine".

When cutting claws, you must exercise extreme caution and precision. Only the upper edge (2.5–3 mm from the claw tip), where there are no vessels, is cuttable. Pet stores sell claw cutters as a working tool.

Use anti-scratch caps if you are unsure about your ability to cut claws. It’s crucial to keep in mind that special glue is used to affix these caps to the purr’s claws. Snoopy may experience an allergic reaction to any of the ingredients in it.

Furthermore, those who oppose anti-scratch caps assert that wearing them causes psychological distress for pets. For cats with whiskers, feeling foreign objects on their body causes discomfort.

Mating of Snoopy cats

If the kitten Snopa that was purchased belongs to the PET class, it cannot be knitted; instead, it will either be sterilized or castrated. The best time to have the procedure done on a representative of the breed is between seven and eight months of age.

Breed or show class membership is a prerequisite for breeding Snoopy cats.

In order to start a business breeding and selling fluffy animals, a Snoopy cat owner must gather the necessary paperwork (the animal’s veterinary passport and pedigree, a diploma from veterinary, zootechnical, or medical education, or a document attesting to the completion of relevant courses), register the nursery (in a felinological club that is a member of one of the international associations of cat lovers), and establish a nursery. You will need to regularly take Snoopy "out into the world" to compete if you want to get serious about breeding.

Snoopy breeders frequently deal with the following issues:

• the likelihood of breeding defectives – half of the kittens in the litter may be long-haired;
• Search for a pair only among “well-bred” and completely healthy inhabitants of official catteries.

The following crucial details should be kept in mind by anyone who must mate Snoopy breed cats:

• exotics reach sexual maturity at 7-9 months;
• the first "date" should be scheduled no earlier than 12 months of age;
• a cat"s pregnancy lasts 63-67 days (the first 10 days are accompanied by nausea and weakness in the morning).

Choosing a Snoopy kitten

If you’re looking for a tiny plush exotic animal that looks like Internet sensation Snoopy, it’s best to get in touch with reputable and officially recognized catteries. You must observe the purrs’ appearance and attitude while examining them. The cat’s eyes should be kind and curious, and its fur shouldn’t have any patches of baldness. The animal must have clean eyes, ears, and a somewhat rounded stomach that is free of bloating and thinness.

Persians and Snoopy kittens are comparable.

Some of the characteristics that set Snoopy kittens apart are:

• equally dense fur on the body and tail (in Persian counterparts, the tail is fluffier than the body);
• up to three weeks the fur looks a little disheveled and sticking out;
• the fur along the spine is stiffer than in other areas.

The Russian Snoopy breed nurseries listed below can assist you in selecting a pet:

• Palmer Cats (g. Moscow);
• Maxima Best (g. Moscow);
• DT Beatrix (g. Novosibirsk);
• LumiCat (g. Moscow);
• C-Matrix (g. Rostov-on-Don).

Kittens can cost anywhere from 10,000 rubles (pet class, for home use) to 30,000–50,000 rubles (breeding and show classes, for exhibition pets).
